$ _ SERVER [ 'REQUEST_URI']

Question

I discovered my own error, can't understand why some down voted. See first comment

SOLUTION:

if(!empty($_GET['lang']))
{    
$uri = 'http'. ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] ? 's' : null) .'://'. $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$lang_folder = $_GET['lang'];
$ses = $_COOKIE['ccUser'];
$query = mysql_query("UPDATE ".$glob['dbprefix']."CubeCart_sessions SET lang='".$lang_folder."' WHERE sessId='".$ses."'");
header("Location:".substr($uri, 0, -8));
die();
}

where a bit of code is creating "too_many_redirects":

if(!empty($_GET['lang']))
{    
$uri = 'http'. ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] ? 's' : null) .'://'. $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$lang_folder = $_GET['lang'];
$ses = $_COOKIE['ccUser'];
$query = mysql_query("UPDATE ".$glob['dbprefix']."CubeCart_sessions SET lang='".$lang_folder."' WHERE sessId='".$ses."'");
header("Location: $uri");
}

I need to GET the URL the visitor was and reload the page after changing the website language.

Any hints folks?

Answer 1

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] includes ?lang=... which results in if statement being true everytime you redirect.
